[QUOTE="Teemore, post: 586620, member: 1375"] Recently A-Team posted photos of his cracked 11" Elite coil, pretty well stuffed would be a good description ...... [img]https://www.prospectingaustralia.com/forum/img/member-images/1375/1607678168_25aa42e5-7aa4-4c9a-90fc-da8312551626.jpg[/img] Turns out the coil was 2nd hand having, I assume, a hard life in the WA goldfields, my assumption is it was stepped on or squashed with stuff loaded in a car. Prospector Pete, no one can question his capabilities, similarly claims ...... [b][i]"Never heard of a NF Evo cracking on the top[u] but heard of more than a few Coilteks doing it[/u]". [/i][/b] Now I'm not saying one is better than the other, really just personal preference, but what I do query, especially with the 11" Elite is how many can personally say theirs has cracked as a result of normal usage (yes photographic evidence would be great). I've fitted mine to the shaft and try as I may I can not put enough pressure on it to see anything resembling movement that would lead to cracking, actually had to tighten the GPX handle as it twisted putting sidewards pressure on the coil. Front and rear pressure merely turned the coil on the retaining screw. So we have photo evidence of 1 stuffed coil and comments (2nd hand ??) of "more than a few" cracking. What's the real story. SHOW ME THE MONEY .... I mean CRACKS. Cheers Tom [/QUOTE]
